I know this is more chat about adopting rather than being adopted but I can't see where else to put it.
I have just made contact with my birth father and we are arranging to meet. Since finding him 6 days ago, I cannot sleep, I'm struggling to work and though I'm bouncy and cheerful with my kids and DH when I'm not making the effort to be so, I am daydreaming and distracted.
Has anyone else had this experience? I'm not sure what I can do to switch off and sleep better. I tried a 40 minute mindfulness meditation app yesterday which was good but DS barged in and started chatting halfway through! I've gone to see my parents to tell them about BF as a way of getting rid of my guilt feelings and they were wonderful so that helped.
But nothing is helping me to sleep at 3am and all I can think about is the meeting up bit and how terrified I'm going to be.
